Dear Ancestor: Shame No More

I suspect that my 2x great grandfather was lynched on Nov. 8, 1911 in Clarksville, TX. There is no oral, family history to support this. However, many black families did not discuss such atrocities. The man in Clarksville, a neighboring town, had the same name as my ancestor who disappeared from public records during the same time. I choose to reclaim this ancestor's memory and legacy with this drawing by focusing on his family's strength to carry on that was rooted in their Christian faith.
